Support for kernel 2.6.29?

05-07-2009, 08:52 AM

Is this going to come in Catalyst 9.5 yet? (Just wondering if I'm waiting for naught
Edit: Lemme reduce the size of the question to spare bridgman: the most important bit here is knowing with reasonable certainty if it will not come, not knowing if it comes.

If that is true I will replace my card with nvidia this month.
I am getting so tired of how they handle things. Only Ubuntu getting support with prereleases etc.

These two things have nothing to do with each other. We're talking of what a *release* might support, not if ATi could feed us with another pre-release. Though I suppose it would be fair if ATi fed to big distros a pre-release of Catalyst 9.6 if it supports 2.6.29. (Just as they gave Ubuntu a pre-release of the driver release after the next one)

? thats not realy true the 9-4 first has a beta leak ... after that ubuntu become a version...

hey cool down.. 9-5 not support 2.6.29 kernel but beta 9-6 does !

so please buy a nvidia cart and install a 9-6 leaked catalyst on it LOL ;-)

The 9.4 afaik wasn't *leaked* but given to Ubuntu. Leaking a beta version is an NDA-infringement and might end you in legal trouble (I haven't read the actual NDA contract so I don't know how big the monetary compensations would be) if you get caught doing it.
